Adolf Munkel Trail This is my favorite hike in the Dolomites. This loop is six miles long, but it’s not that steep. You can hike to the Geislerspitzen, these 250-million year-old rock formations.
Gschnagenhardt Hut: “This is the rifugio I love.” It is located on the Adolf Munkel Trail, below the Geisler (Odle), peaks of Val di Funes. I’m always eating fried eggs with bacon and roasted potatoes. It’s my favorite mountaineer’s dish. You feel energized after a hard ascent.”
Reinhold Messner Haus: “We converted an old cable car station into a center that deals with sustainability and the environment. It was opened on my birthday, in September. “We hosted a concert with scientists and politicians about the local wolf populations.”
Learn Ladin Ladin is a third official language that you might hear. This ancient local language is still spoken today in the Sella massif region, Belluno Province, and northwestern Trentino. People in the Dolomites don’t expect you to know it, but saying bun dé instead of hello and de gra instead of danke or grazie is a sign of respect that goes a long way.
